The BPI bit (also referred to as BPI-bit, stylised as bpi:bit) is an ESP32 with 32-bit Xtensa LX6 dual-core processor based embedded system. It supports Webduino, Arduino, MicroPython as well as Scratch X programming environments.
bpi:bit board is 5 cm x 5 cm in size, weighs 10 ~ 12 grams, it houses a 20-Pin edge connector, built-in lighting matrix with 25 programmable full-color LEDs , two photosensitive light sensors, two programmable buttons, an NTC resistor, a buzzer and a nine shaft sensor (triaxial acceleration Three-axis gyroscope and three-axis magnetic compass),
the I/O space configuration is as follows:
- Full color LED matrix: GPIO4
- Photosensitive sensor: GPIO36 (Analog A0, upper left), GPIO39 (Analog A3, upper right)
- Button switch : GPIO35 (Botton A), GPIO27 (Botton B)
- Temperature sensor: GPIO34 (Analog A6)
- Buzzer: GPIO25
- MPU-9250 9-axis sensor: GPIO0, GPIO21(SDA), GPIO22(SCL)
Webduino Bit is the latest board of Webduino with much more sensors on top of its basic functions(Wi-Fi connection, muti-connectivity,multi-board...). It uses ESP32 module,one of the most efficient and stable chipset in the market, which has built-in 2.4G Wi-Fi and Bluetooth,448KB ROM,520KB SRAM,speed up to 600 DMIPS,and 40 nm technology.
Webduion bit board has a compact size of 50mm x 50mm, weighs 10-12 grams.It has 20 pins at the bottom,25 full color LED array in the middle, two photo cells,two buttons, one thermistor,one buzzer,one 9-axis sensor(3-axis accelerometer,3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis magnetometer)
Hardware interface:
The edge interface is much compatible with those of micro:bit. so you may able to use micro:bit accessories on bpi:bit
